Man tries balm foundation... pleasantly surprised!
As a man who regularly uses makeup, I've tried quite a few foundations over the years, but never one in balm form. I was curious about this new hybrid product and decided to give it a try. As a guy, I want something quick, discreet, and natural, and this delivers on all three đ! It takes max 30 seconds to apply with fingers in the morning. The balm melts right into the skin, covers redness and blemishes fairly well, and looks completely naturalâno one can tell I'm wearing anything. The skin feels moisturized all day, a big plus compared to many matte foundations I've tried before. The packaging with a built-in mirror is also smart to have in the bag. On the downside, it gets a bit shiny in the T-zone in the afternoon, and the price feels high for so little product. But despite that, this is one of the smoothest base products I've tried as a man, definitely worth trying if you like a natural look.

L'Oréal Paris True Match Hyaluron Tinted Balm 2.5 Neutral Light
I got to test this foundation in the shade 2.5 Neutral Light, which turned out a bit too dark and had more of a yellow undertone for my skin tone. I am very pale and always have red cheeks, so if you are as pale as me, a lighter shade is probably better. I thought the packaging was very luxurious and a big plus that it came with a finger sleeve applicator which was perfect for this product! I used the product for about a week and experienced that it never really absorbed into the skin as I had hoped. Even though I applied a transparent powder on top, it never became matte but felt like the skin was sticky. This resulted in the product feeling very heavy on the skin and I was aware that I was wearing makeup, which I really donât like! During the day, I noticed it became cakey and tended to settle into my fine lines/wrinkles, especially on the forehead and cheeks. Also, I became more and more shiny the longer I wore it. But the coverage was insanely good! As I mentioned earlier, I have quite red cheeks and the product covered super well! So if you like a glow and donât mind it feeling a bit sticky and want a foundation that covers incredibly well, I can definitely recommend this product! But if you have dry skin and tend to get oily during the day and maybe have some fine lines, I wouldnât recommend this foundation. âïž + Easy to apply + Gives glow + Incredible coverage + Best suited for younger (in my opinion) âïž - Becomes cakey easily - Tends to settle into fine lines - Feels heavy & sticky The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson â the tester received the product for free. #Smartson #LorealParis1 product in post L'OrĂ©al Paris True Match Hyaluron Tinted Balm 2.5 Neutral Light48 views - The post was made 2 daysRating: 3 out of 5
Maybe not for my skin in its current condition
I thought the color would be too dark for me but it still blended in quite well However, it doesn't cover my pimple on the chin and I would have liked a bit better coverage on the cheek. I will try applying more on the cheek to see if I can get better coverage on my red blemishes there, but bigger pimples are not covered with this. Nice feeling on the skin with this though, feels moisturizing.

Amazing product!
This is an absolutely amazing product! Was skeptical, but oh, how positively surprised I was :) Super color and the texture is creamy and just the right hardness/softness so itâs easy to take the foundation brush and use! It melts into the skin without caking or crumbling and can be built up for more coverage if you want. The skin looks even and nice. In my picture, I have the product on half of my face so you can see how good it is â my skin is very red but it covers and gives the skin a nice tone!

Very Scandinavian (yellow)
LâOrĂ©al Paris True Match Hyaluron Tinted Balm in the shade Neutral Light 2.5 Clicked on another "shade" and the whole review disappeared. The texture was a bit creamy-sticky, not my favorite. It moisturized, but still felt like a film on the skin. For 6 hours, then I didnât want to use it anymore. Very yellow tone, I know thanks to TikTok that itâs quite trendy for white Americans and Scandinavians to go more yellow, wouldnât say I think it looks good. At least I got a compliment on the makeup, but then I had also used a lighter matte powder on the chin, forehead, and cheeks. Would I give a lighter shade a chance? Yes, if I got it for free too. Iâll use this one up now, but wouldnât buy it again according to my overall rating. But right now Iâm mixing two different shades from two different companies to get the perfect texture and color, so sorry this one wasnât perfect.

Great product!
A very simple product that covers well with just one layer, melts into your skin tone, and leaves no edges. Easy to apply with the included small spatula. It also held up well in the heat.

Cool concept but not recommended because there are better products out there for cheaper and because itâs not cruelty free!
A little about me: combination skin with a T-zone. Donât like heavy, cakey products on the face, prefer matte over shiny finish. This is a somewhat unique foundation product â the best way I can describe it is a bit like a BB cream in cake form! Melts upon application and becomes like a lightly covering serum. I was a bit worried the shade would be too dark for my skin tone, but this product is very lightly pigmented. Thatâs also the weak point: I didnât notice much difference with or without the product. For my skin, it mostly added shine, which I donât like. Also, itâs not cruelty freeđđ. There are better products out there for cheaper, so not recommended. âïž Cool concept â BB cream in cake form! âïž Practical packaging with built-in mirror and puff âïž Fits most skin tones as itâs lightly pigmented âïž Donât notice much difference, mostly becomes shiny. âïž Doesnât cover redness, dark circles, fine lines, large pores, etc. If you want light coverage, itâs easier to use concealer on desired areas and blend out! âïž The included puff isnât very practical â easier to apply with fingers since warmth is needed for the product to melt. Also, the mirror gets dirty from the puff. âïž Not cruelty freeđđ âïž The price!!đ€Żđž The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson â the tester received the product for free. #smartson #lorealparis1 product in post Cool concept but not recommended because there are better products out there for cheaper and because itâs not cruelty free!84 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 5 out of 5

L'Oréal Paris True Match Hyaluron Tinted Balm
I give this product 3 out of 5 stars. The formula feels pleasant on the skin and is easy to apply. It has a soft, moisturizing feel and evens out the skin tone in a natural way without feeling heavy. The coverage is quite light, which works best if you want a subtle result, which I personally really appreciate. The biggest downside is the very limited shade range. It makes it difficult to find a color that truly blends into your own skin tone and lowers the overall impression. Otherwise, itâs a nice product for a natural everyday makeup. Can recommend!

The texture is creamy and doesnât feel like other base products Iâve tried. The coverage is quite sheer, but I see that as an advantage â especially in the summer when I mostly want to even out my skin tone without it feeling like makeup. It gave my skin a nice glow and a natural result that looked fresh all day. Shade 2.5 also matched my skin tone very well. For those who want a light, moisturizing base with a natural finish, I definitely think itâs worth trying. I will definitely use it again.

Gives such a nice result!
If youâre looking for a product that gives a natural result with light to medium coverage, you have to check out LâOrĂ©al Paris True Match Hyaluron Tinted Balm (2.5 Neutral Light). The best thing about it is the feel on the skin: itâs soft, super easy to blend in, and feels so wonderfully moisturizing from morning to night thanks to the hyaluronic acid. The skin gets a more even tone and a very fresh finish without looking overdone. Stays looking great for hours without drying out! A perfect choice for the everyday look.

Top product - I love it!
I give L'OrĂ©al Tinted Balm five plus. The product really stays in place all day without feeling heavy or cakey on the skin. It gives a natural and nice glow and blends beautifully with the skin, resulting in an even and fresh finish. The formula feels light and comfortable while providing just the right coverage for a natural look. After a whole day, the skin still looks hydrated and fresh. The only downside is that the shade range feels quite limited. I would have liked to see more options so that even more people can find a perfect match. Since this is my new favorite, I bought a darker shade to match my tan but find the shades very light. Despite that, it is a fantastic product that I will definitely buy again.

Compact product that makes it difficult, but perfect shade
Use it with the included applicator or something similar, then itâs easier to work in. When applied with a makeup sponge, it was hard to work in and gave a âheavyâ impression on the face as the product is too compact. It got better when warmed up with the fingers once applied to really even it out. It covered better than I thought it would. What I liked about it is the color (no. 3) since itâs hard to find a good base when you are light olive/neutral; often they are too cold, too warm, or too dark in tone.

A bit too light coverage for me, otherwise nice!
I appreciate the glow and how fresh the skin looks. However, I think it had a bit too little coverage on days when I have redness that I want to hide. It sits nicely on the skin and doesnât get cakey with powder on top. I will definitely use this frequently and probably buy it again!

Foundation with Glow
LâOrĂ©al Paris True Match Hyaluron Tinted Balm light 3 unfortunately did not fully meet my expectations. Despite the promise of a moisturizing and natural finish, the product gave a cakey result that highlighted dry patches and skin texture instead of smoothing it out. The pores on my nose were more visible. The coverage became uneven, and the result looked less natural than expected. For those who prefer a light, skin-like base, there are probably better alternatives. The product may work for some skin types but did not suit my needs or expectations. Since I had gotten a tan, the shade was a bit too light for me, but I will continue to test it during the fall.

Really nice if you do it right
Oh, this one is so hard to open! And I mean the balm lid itself (or whatever you want to call it), because the lid with the mirror and puff is easy to open, but oh, how many times I've hurt my fingers trying to get to the product itself! It gets easier the more you use it, but ouch! đ Okay, I've been using it for about a week now, more or less, and I actually think it's really nice! But the problem is that if I use the puff that comes in the case (dry), it gets very oily and cakey, so I have to apply it with a damp sponge to do it justice, and then it looks super nice and natural! The color is very nice and not far from my natural skin tone, which is hard to achieve. The coverage is very light, but it still makes a difference, you can see that the skin looks fresher and the tone is evened out, but it still looks very natural. It's just as nice with or without primer, but I need to set it with a setting powder because otherwise it gets a bit too glossy, and it mostly looks oily on me. Really nice product that I would absolutely recommend to everyone, whether you have dry or oily skin (just prep your skin according to your skin type first). Is it worth the price? I think it's quite expensive, but I believe it lasts a long time considering how little product you actually use, so I'm willing to say yes on that point too. The only downside is that it doesn't quite perform its best when used as intended â with a dry puff.

No more than approved
Overall it covers well but is difficult to distribute evenly. The hair becomes stiff and the smell when spraying reminds me of a chemistry lab.

Really good, got compliments...
Very good color and the product melts well into the face. So happy to try this, will be used many times. A bit negative is that where there are dry patches, the product sticks a bit easily. And I miss something to apply the product with, like an applicator. But the lightness of the product still outweighs these two negatives. Only a little product is needed for the whole face, so it will last a long time...

L'Oréal Magic Retouch
I have tested LâOrĂ©al Paris Magic Retouch Direct Color in three shades: Brown, Dark Brown, and Cold Brown. All three cover roots very well and provide a quick result; for me, Cold Brown and Brown worked best. Cold Brown gave the most natural and cool tone, while Brown also fit nicely without becoming too dark. Dark Brown covers well but was too intense for my hair color. The spray is convenient for quick touch-ups, but I noticed that the color can easily smudge onto the skin, especially on the forehead, and that the hair becomes a bit stiff after application. This makes it difficult to style or touch the hair without getting color on your fingers or glasses. The product works, but it requires caution after application. Itâs a good alternative for those who donât have issues with color transfer or sensitive scalp. In my case, I will mainly use it as an emergency solution when I need a quick result before a special occasion. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the test.

No make up make up look
I have tested LâOrĂ©al Paris True Match Hyaluronic Tinted Serum Balm in the shade Light 3, and my overall impression is very positive. The first thing that impressed me was the packaging. It feels thoughtful and practical, and I really appreciate that it has a built-in mirror and an applicator, perfect when you want to touch up your makeup during the day. The product itself has a wonderfully creamy and light texture that glides smoothly over the skin. Itâs easy to apply and feels incredibly soft and comfortable. It almost feels like applying a moisturizing skincare product rather than a base makeup, which I really like. I like a natural âno makeupâ look, and this product fits perfectly for that. It evens out the skin tone and gives a fresh, natural result without feeling heavy or cakey. The only thing I noticed was that the finish became more matte than I expected. I didnât experience any direct glow, which might be worth considering if you prefer a more radiant base. However, it works very well as a natural and moisturizing base that keeps the skin comfortable throughout the day. In summary, this is an easy-to-apply and pleasant product that suits those who want a natural result with a skincare feel.
